Hey there blog friends!! I bit the bullet and finally signed up for Instagram and Twitter. What was I thinking? I’m not really that talkative so I’ll have to see about Twitter, but I finally figured out what I could do with Instagram. I have so many ‘not ready for prime time’ pictures that I take of things I’m working on and my area, that would never appear on my blog. Hope you’ll join me there. In the meantime, do I ever have the coolest sets to show you today! It’s Preview Day 1 of the new Waltzingmouse Stamps Releases. The new sets simply make me grin then they are so cute!! So my project today uses the new set called My Kind of Guy. It will be available from Waltzingmouse Stamps on April 18th, there’s lots to see from the Design Team today. When you see the set the pattern will look oddly familiar. As a matter of fact, I simply delved in to find out as much as I could about the pattern. So the kind of shoe is a Brogue (noun….A strong outdoor shoe with ornamental perforated patterns in the leather). I love the pattern and if you want to get an idea about some colors to use, just google Trickers Brogue and see all the colors. No men you’re crafting for? No worries, google Trickers Brogue for women. Isn’t that amazing?? I couldn’t wait to get started – the whole set reminded me of clever wedding favors so I pulled out the remainder of these cute Jolees stickers from a couple of years ago. I thought they worked perfectly with the decor of this set.
Many moons ago I purchased a template to make these box lids. Long since lost but I thought the concept was a great match for that awesome border. It’s a regular box top scored to fit the length and depth dimensions of the bag with two slits cut on top. And the bonus is that it just so happens Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop matches the curves of the border pattern!!
The card is an addition to the ensemble – it along with the bag are meant for a mans gift in a wedding setting. For the sentiment, I cut it using a template from Spellbinders™ Address Book and backed it with one of my favorite elements from Spellbinders™ Ironwork Motifs. Working with this set is such a treat!!
Speaking of treat . . . .hop around and see what the design team has in store for you today!!

Hi Becca, I checked all the blogs & saw some really cool ideas for guys but I have to say this is my favourite! I’m such a girly girl at heart so I’m sure that plays a part but your design and colours are just gorgeous. I’m enthralled by your creations, i follow you on Pinterest but I’m not signed up to twitter and haven’t even heard of Instagram before today! I’ll have to look into them now if it means I can see more of your wonderful inspirations

Love your take on this set: the wedding theme looks so great!!!
The My Kind of Guy set is SO clever and you put it right over the top!!
That has to be one of the MOST PRETTIEST bag/box(es) I have ever seen- the dies are super, but the navy/white – WOW!
Wow, gorgeous projects. I especially love the card!
These are really cute and so clever/different. I went to the site from your link and almost fell over as I have a fair idea of what bespoke shoes cost…….That is one of my secret wishes: hand made boots/shoes just for me. I truly enjoy your work so much and love your You Tube site especially.

Oh my Becca. This is an amazing gift set. So beautiful in design and the matching set is the perfect way to give a heartfelt gift. Truly GORGEOUS!
This is so sharp and clean. Something a bit different. You are an ace designer.
I love the phrase “old bean” – and your card is just perfect. Very elegant. Love the bag too!
My friend and I are with Cheri D…we are trying to figure out if the scallops are edged with a punch or stamp?? We love your cards and can’t wait to see what is next!
Hi Kay, The stamp is scalloped (reverse) and I used a matching Spellbinders die called Spellbinders Classic Scallop. It’s linked up in my post – just click the link and you’ll go straight to it :-)
Incredible projects today.
How very clever! Love the stamps…and the gift wrapping is amazing!
Love the strong statement and look of this card. Any man would be proud to recieve this card.
In a word – fabulous!
Hugs
